| I was thinking about Player Points, and what if we could actually use them for something besides bragging? (This next idea has many flaws, but something similar to it would be nice)What if you could trade maybe 100 PP's for one robuck? I know this could seem like a lot of PP's for just one robuck to some people, but there are games where PP's rain from the sky and you collect them. I don't know, I just don't know why they were added, because except for the Summer Games, they are totally useless. |

| Talked about. This is now something thrown away as an Idea. They are a simple trophy. |

| @islandmaker2012 Of course you would be getting them for free. You don't have to pay. And if 100 is only 1 robuck then you wouldn't be getting much out of them. And as I said, that idea had many flaws, I was just wondering if we could have some benefit besides a useless trophy to brag about to our friends. |

Player points have the sole purpose of being an achievement system, aswell as awarding bragging rights for some users. They do not need any other purpose, nor do they need to turn into some awful third currency used on the site.
This would also allow game creators, who award themselves player points, to earn money from taxed ROBUX. That shouldn't happen nor be allowed, but there is no way to completely stop this. |

| Some very valid points there. But I know that that specific idea will never happen, (as I said, has many flaws) but I would just like something that makes them worth something. It feels like the reason they used them in the Summer Games was because they had nothing else for them. It also made the Games unbalanced because people who had already played 24/7 on that specific game had a definite chance of winning, no one could beat their 3-month+ score in only a week. |

It would be better if it were raised to 1000 rather than 100 pp.
That way it would be harder :/ |

@Noah, Your concerns, regarding playing 24/7, are unfounded as far as I can see. Points, for everyone, were reset just before the Summer Games started, meaning that everyone built their points up from the ground for the Summer Games. |

| I'm pretty sure Roblox is never going to make PP's exchangeable for R$, they are to easily achieved even though shops were banned, I've gotten thousands from a single game (work at a pizza place) after like a week or two |

Playerpoints are an alternative for badges. That is all they were made for.
I agree with DataStore. |
